Overview 

This webinar, the inaugural event in the ASTCT & National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP)/Be The Match® Sickle Cell Webinar Series, was originally broadcast on September 7, 2023, coinciding with Sickle Cell Awareness month.  The session featured presentations by clinicians and patient speakers focusing on the referral process for patients with sickle cell disease to curative options with transplant. The topics covered included general principles of referral and consultation, psychosocial supports for patients during the referral process, and successful education models from New Jersey that facilitate connections between community hematology and oncology physicians and transplant specialists. Dr. Maryam Zia moderated the webinar, and the presenters included Ana Gordon, a referral coordinator at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Dr. Jennifer Krajewski from Hackensack Meridian Health. Each webinar in this series will also showcase patient's lived experiences related to the topics discussed. This webinar was recorded and recently reviewed to extend CME accreditation.

Continuing Medical Education Information

Statement of Need: The Sickle Cell Warriors Program at NMDP is a patient services program that assists in typing for patients, financial assistance, counseling, patient education and providing peer connections. The primary feedback from patients in the Sickle Cell Warrior Program is that #1 barrier to treatment is physicians. Patients report that they are not being told about all of their treatment options; regardless of disease severity, they should at least be made aware of various options, but often they are not. Many patients go to the Sickle Cell Warriors Program to enroll in a clinical trial for transplant, but this usually does not cover cost of HLA typing. In this case, the referring physician has not gone through the process of HLA typing, either because of misinformation or because the physician refuses to provide an order for typing simply because they don’t agree with patients physicians. This is a clear miscommunication between the community oncologists and transplant physicians. In surveys, transplant physicians identify a lack of awareness, lack of confidence, and reliance on outdated data from the referring physicians. These referring physicians in a similar survey reported that their primary reason for not communicating all treatment options was noncompliance in patients who they did not believe had the means to move forward with treatment. This illustrates a complex problem between the three groups (referring community physicians, transplant physicians, and the patients themselves) that this webinar series aims to address.

Target Audience: This activity is intended for physicians, both referring physicians and transplant specialists, scientists, and other healthcare professionals who are part of the multidisciplinary team.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this education activity, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the general principles for referring patients with sickle cell disease to transplant consultations.
2. Identify areas of strengths and gaps for patient’s psychosocial support throughout the referral, decision making, and transplant process.
3. Recognize opportunities for further communication and peer education with community oncologists, hematologists and transplant physicians in order to increase rates of getting sickle cell patients to curative options.

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by The France Foundation (TFF),  the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), and the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT). The France Foundation is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
